The Gibson Ruffle Blouse is inspired by the style and silhouette of the late 19th- and early 20th century; specifically the iconic Gibson Girls. It is knit top-down with a twisted rib neckline that closes with a button at the back. It has an elegant lace- and seed stitch panel at the chest, and an airy, romantic ruffle of mohair silk is picked up at the end. The sleeves are blousing bishop sleeves over a tall cuff of twisted rib – a silhouette straight out of the turn of the century. The body is cropped and fitted, and the hem is knit in twisted rib.

The pattern PDF includes both the Norwegian and English pattern.
